That's an adorable character! The whole costume looks like it would have to be sewed, I wouldn't suggest buying anything but the wig, and it looks like your have the rest of the costume figured out. c:

I'm researching the cosplay rules right now. :D

And I hope I emailed the right person~

AND, if the plan falls, where do I get wigs *fairly* cheaply without too much of a quality drop?

[bandit;]

You can find some cheap black wigs here, and you can find some bald caps here. I can't find any other actual Skrillex wig...

[Dylan Klebold]

I guessed that x3. Thank you!

PS, I e-mailed the person and she said that she'll get to my email for she is at Phily ComicCon :D

Great, tell me how it all goes. c;

[Dylan Klebold]

If I can convince Dad, I'll be Skrillex for the con! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Aaaaaaah I honestly don't know, since I don't have the eyes for contacts ._.

I'm sure there might be a store you can get them at. I wouldn't get them online unless you absolutely have to. It just sounds gross.

^ that is a link to a video by cosplayer Mango Sirene. (She has a lot of super helpful cosplay information videos on her youtube channel/tips on her blog. That video is on circle lenses and she has links in the video to various sites that sell more than just circle lenses if you don't want circle lenses. (i suggest circle lenses if you are going to be taking a lot of pictures) I myself have never used contacts so I can't tell you firsthand about those sites but everything else Sirene has recommended has been exactly the way she described.
Also if you don't want to order online, a lot of korean stores sell colored contacts. The only downside is that the styles on limited. You'll have a lot more options online.
